PHL Reference Chroma Processor Plus is a high quality image-processing technology developed by Panasonic to precisely process each pixel of the Blu-ray Disc video signal in the vertical direction. It reproduces color data with twice the accuracy of conventional systems to keep colors faithful and sharp.

Through the Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory, Panasonic has collaborated with Hollywood filmmakers for more than 15 years to accumulate the know-how and expertise that are needed to achieve faithful color reproduction between original movie footage and Blu-ray media. The image playback technologies that have been gained from this know-how and expertise are fully reflected in all Panasonic Blu-ray Disc products. This allows Panasonic to bring outstanding images that approach original cinema quality right into your living room.

PanasonicThis player is just OK. The picture is great just like all other BD players but like almost every Panasonic piece of equipment I own, it is either painfully slow loading (that's this model) or the user interface is clunky, programmed by someone who obviously operates far differently than me. If you don't care about how long it takes for the BD disc to load or that the user interface is irritating, then you have found a BD player that delivers a fine picture at a nice price. I do like the remote for the buttons although even that has issues like 3 different menu buttons and wording that is not generic with much of the industry. Panasonic, just not me but it might be for you.
By the way, still no NetFlix?

Panasonic DMP-BD60 (No K)Netflix? What, no Netflix?? I was given tghe unit in 2009 as a Christmas gift and have enjoyed using the player since (good experience, good quality). Recently I thought about giving Netflix a try and hadent read any of the reviews (yet). I have since upgraded the firmware and found the Amazon movie selection to be extensive and possibly expensive. I dont know how many movies everyone else has time to watch but I dont have time for more than one every now and then. Amazon isnt so bad after all in that regard. I have the player hare wired with a net cable to my router.

not happyEven though the blu-ray player is extremely good, I expected it to have netflix. I bought it in 2010, but I guess it is not a 2010 model.
I am very happy with the DVD up conversion and the blu-ray disks play great( slow to load ).

Excellent Player so farBought in May 2010 and beyond the slow initial disc-read time, its well worth the low amount I paid compared to other players advertised. The only issue I've had so far is NO NETFLIX. Panasonic announced earlier this month that Netflix is available on all 2010 models ONLY... Get the 65 if you want Netflix now. I'm sure in the next year a firmware update will include Netflix, but for now.... that is my only disappointment.

No autoresume with BRThis unit supports auto resume with DVD's but NOT with BR discs, which I find strange since it's billed as a BR player. I tried the firmware update with the CD-R but it wouldn't work. Maybe that would have provided auto resume with BR's. But without that feature I can't give this unit a good rating.
